still very much alive in our post industrial society.
i read today about a housing estate in the bijou northern town of rochdale that had 84% unemployment.
a cafe owner gave some thought to what would attract a better class of clientele to his establishment.
£.4.70. full english breakfast with complimentary can of stella.
mrs t would have been proud of him.

I suppose that if you kill off all the unemployed with coronary heart disease and alcoholic liver disease, that will bring down the % of people out of work.

In the name of Three Holy Drones, Howard! 84% unemployment! How does one explain that! Do you want me to do some job-searching for that area, I know just where to look, and find stunning results on tens of thousands of job-vacancies 'in the UK'.

84%, Brian, is for the Guiness book of records, if that's what you are referring to!
